[edit]

Synopsis: Two undercover agents infiltrate a drug-smuggling ring in Mexico, but neither is aware of the other's identity.


Reaction: It's interesting to see MacMurray in this kind of role. Too bad the movie isn't the best. Not terrible, but it's a bit weak a few areas.


Personal Rating: 6/10
